Nick is an author and the spiritual teacher at The Self-Inquiry Center. He graduated from Coral Springs High School in Florida, where he was an All-American Soccer Player and earned a football scholarship to Penn State University. He was the place-kicker for the National Champion Penn State Nittany Lions under the legendary coach Joe Paterno. Nick graduated in 1986 with his degree in Biomechanics, and played briefly with the Detroit Lions before a knee injury retired him to the business world as a regional vice-president and speaker for A.L. Williams. Four years later, Nick entered the public school system to teach science and coach wrestling, soccer and football. Nick has privately mentored and trained 49 place-kickers who received Division 1 collegiate scholarships.
Nick's success has come from emphasizing inward awareness, incorporating the significance of yoga and meditation to assist athletes with finding The Zone. In 1996, Nick transitioned into also teaching yoga and then meditation to the general public. After discovering Self-inquiry, he experienced a profound shift and sought the direction of various conscious teachers, including Ramana Maharshi, who then guided Nick to share the Self-Inquiry in the West.
In 2002, several of his students formed the South Florida-based Atma-Vichara Ashram, where he was the acting spiritual director for five years before teaching abroad from 2007 to 2010 and writing his first book, "Be Still and Know I AM God: The Direct Path to Knowing God Within." In early 2010 he established The Self-Inquiry Center in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. When he is not traveling to coach, share the Self-Inquiry or introduce "Be Still and Know I AM God," Nick resides at the Center and disseminates the Self-Inquiry.
